End of Skype support coming soon?
Microsoft has indicated that Skype support for legacy platforms and OSes will be greatly reduced soon. Though they were not so kind as to give a date, they mention October 2016 as a deadline. Skype integration even without video is something I enjoy on my N9. I don't know if it will survive the latest purge.

It is possible to build alternative Skype client with integration similar to Extraplugins accounts UI or Nine2D. The problem is as usual the lack of interest & money. Skype integration was one of the top notch features I was so happy about. What's next? abandoning 2G? changing radio frequencies? Life is so brutal for nostalgic nerds like me :)

No alternatives will exist, unfortunate that this is happening. But it was inevitable. I'm sure somebody will talk about a replacement in the next year or so but after this long, nothing has appeared.
I do find it odd that even Windows Phone has been dropped. |

It never got upgraded. I wish I could ditch Skype. If only so many academics weren't using it... |
